Super Sunday!!!



We are extremely lucky to be living in the era of legends where some of the finest aspects of sports have been exploited. We have seen the peak of Sachin, Schumi and this Sunday was absolutely breathtaking with two gentlemen, the best in their sports achieving what many thought was impossibe before these two started their march towards glory. Yes, I am talking about Roger Federer and Tiger Woods, Federer winning his 4th consecutive US Open, the first person to do so in the open era and Tiger extending his record to 6-0 in the PGA playoffs which are introduced this year. Spectacular achievements!! Federer is just two slams away from equalling Sampras's 14 grand slams record, which many are expecting him to do by Wimbledon 2008. Salute to the two masters.

Munna is just an average flick


By now we all know that the reviews for Munna aren't all that great. I usually look at all the sites before going for a movie and was a bit disappointed to see that Munna hasn't received many favourable reviews. But somewhere down the line I had a feeling that this movie might be a good hit like Bhadra which also didn't get good reviews. The connection between these two is that both the movies are produced by Dil Raju.


Anyways, coming to the movie. It was a disappointment to say the least. The movie doesn't have strong story line and the screen play is hackeneyed and jaded which is the main culprit for the movie to be such a disaster in terms of entertainment. First half is good and I am sure most of them would enjoy it but too much action sequences and same old story in the second half spoiled the movie completely. I am expecting the movie to be an average flick for distributors. It will definitely not go down as a disaster in terms of collection. Prabhas is good but he has to tremendously improve his dialogue delivery to carry the character like Munna with him. And also my suggestion to him is to stick to clothes as in Chatrapati and Eeshwar. Too much style didn't suit him. Ileana is losing popularity by loads every other day. She looks awful in Munna and has to seriouslyt think of putting on some weight. Maaaaaaaaaaaan, she is too thin to be a lead actress!!! Comedy in the first half is good. Second half lacks any entertainment value. Music is average. 'Manasa' song is the best among the lot both in terms of picturization and melody.

We have to wait and see if this would be the first flop for Dil Raju though it is unlikely to be one.

Happy Birthday Sachin!!!!!!!!!

A very very very happy birthday to Sachin. He turns 34 today. I hope this year would be the best for him and his cricketing career. Sachin so far is going to be different from Sachin hereon. Fingers were never raised against him, his place was never in jeopardy and there was a degree of certainity in his inclusion. For the first time he has to fight these demons and prove that he is still good for 2011 world cup. Go Sachin. We are with you. prove to the world that you are still the best bastman.

Films and sports

Well, anyone reading my blogs would tell that I am crazy anout Films and Sports. This weekend has plenty of entertainement in these two aspects and I thoroughly enjoyed it. First if talking about movies I watched 'Dhee' this weekend. Hmm, had lot of expectations on it going by the reviews but the movie was plain ok. It has the same old storyline though the screenplay is good in parts. Surprisingly music was good. Chakri has been churning out good music but for some reason isn't getting the recognition he deserves. Go for the Audio CD, you will enjoy the songs surely though may not drool over it. Actors in Dhee except for Srihari are terrible. Looks like Genelia can never learn how to act. She has to get roles which suit her to impress upon us. Otherwise she can't carry a character/story with her which many top actresses do. Vishnu was never a hero material. He has to seriously consider shedding some weight. Needs some grace and screen presence. He has no style at all and his dressing sense in Dhee was awful to say the least.

Coming to sports Federer Vs Nadal matches always excited me and this weekend both of them showcased there skills in the finals. Nadal blew Federer away again on the red claycourts. Man, Nadal is truly invincible on these courts. What, is this his 67 or 68th consecutive win on clay. That is amazing to say the least. Going by the result looks like Federer stands no chance even this year to win the french open unless the organizers make the courts faster. Anyways all the best Roger, it would be some sight to watch a player of my generation to win all 4 grandslams. I will root for you (ofcourse, Roddick comes first) in the coming French open.
